jayseven Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 another +1 for your style, Wes. I think it matches your pendulum thoughts.
Wesley Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Awesome. So, I'm still waiting for this guy to come and fix the boiler. And I'm also waiting for e-mails back from my two lecturers. But this Fallout 3 goodness is... good.
Fused King Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 WHY IS EVERYONE IGNORING GUY FAWKES DAY!!??!?!?!?! I want to know what it's all about, other than burning a doll because some guy wanted to blow up your parliament building ages ago.... Is that the whole principle, or does more happen?

Gizmo Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Guy Fawkes night is up there with Halloween as one of the worst "holidays" there is. Don't you just love how close together they are.
Razz Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Guy Fawkes night is up there with Halloween as one of the worst "holidays" there is. Don't you just love how close together they are. I quite like the both of them to be honest. More so Guy Fawkes' Night because I've always loved having bonfires and fireworks. I guess they both are quite morbid though. We're effectively celebrating the burning of catholics at the stake, all in the name of monarchy. Halloween has it bad though, it was originally the festival of Samhain in Celtic and Gaelic cultures, but was then stolen by Christianity, and then secularised by us today and made a lot more ridiculous.
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 The burning of the giant Jordan [The weird bird not the former weird member] would be something I'd like to see. Job shit is still in limbo, check the employmentings thread for detailings.
SPAMBOT4000 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Spambot -- you've seen her nipple already?!Haha noo, I did point out to her that, as I was there to comfort her after the pain, I should probably get to see but it didn't work :p SPAMBOT: You said ''Just do it now'' and she did it. Wow. I'm astonished.Haha oh god don't say it like that, I sound like some sort of victorian monster of a man! :P She'd wanted it done for a while, I think I just tipped her over the edge to going through with it. Was quite shocked myself, very random. Wes, I like your one line per sentence style too. As Molly said, a lot of the time I can't be bothered reading a big block of text properly. Today was okay. Job applying and shit etc... Yawn. Not too bothered about Guy Fawkes. I get bored of fireworks verrrry quickly. They're only fun if you're having a moment with a significant other. Like bonfires though, whooop!
Eenuh Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Aww I want fireworks and bonfires too. Send some my way. =P Today has been quite uninteresting, pretty much like the rest of my week has been heh. Worked on a project for a few hours, hoping it's done soon so I can finally focus on school work. Wish people would make up their mind about it. I should play a game. Need some funnnnn.
Happenstance Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Not happy at all with the Job Centre. I forgot to go to an appointment a few weeks ago and I went in today and was told my claim had ended and I had to ring up and sort it all up again. I would have at least expected them to ring/write to me to let me know this before I wasted time going back in not knowing anything was wrong!
Jimbob Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 WHY IS EVERYONE IGNORING GUY FAWKES DAY!!??!?!?!?! I want to know what it's all about, other than burning a doll because some guy wanted to blow up your parliament building ages ago.... Is that the whole principle, or does more happen? Basically, it is a celebration that Guy Fawkes did not blow the Houses of Parliament up Wikipedia Guy Fawkes Night is an annual celebration on the evening of the 5th November. It marks the downfall of the Gunpowder Plot of 5th November 1605, in which a number of Catholic Conspirators, including Guy Fawkes attempted to destroy the Houses of Parliament in London, United Kingdom Bonfires were used to celebrate King James after the failed attempt to assassinate him. Basically, that is why we celebrate Guy Fawkes Night. Aww I want fireworks and bonfires too. Send some my way. =P. I don't think i could send Fireworks, somehow i don't think they would even be able to leave the country. This day and age, it may be believed they could be used as a terrorist threat.
SPAMBOT4000 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Happenstance, I feel for you, the Job Centre are total shite. I had to go to a Back to Work meeting recently. Basically all I got from it was "look in the newspaper and the internet to find a job!" Also the chap, who hadn't used facebook before, said it was a good idea to "update your status thing or something to 'looking for a job' because people get jobs that way!" I can just imagine some of the replies I'd get if I put that as my status...
nightwolf Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I didn't even realise it was the 5th, I've been so swamped with work I've not taken notice of days. Been doing work most of yesterday, got my animation finished completely, just got the drawing stuff and report which is good. Today I had programming - which sucks, I have never been able to truly grasp programming and we have a little exam in three weeks which I'll be sure to fail, but I'm optomistic about said failing. Went shopping and bought watchmen from forbidden planet and a plushie knuckles, I want sonic and tails to add to my desk too! Been looking at properties, which sucks, theres alot of 2 bedroom places out there for sure, but some are so damn expensive.
Slaggis Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) Have decided to go to the After Dark thing after all. Seems pointless me not. If I'm going to feel ill, I might as well do it where there's fireworks. Plus, feels like I haven't seen Razz and in aaages. Eeee, excited now! Edited November 5, 2009 by Slaggis
Raining_again Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I like wesley's posts, they make me read them! I think we should all post like this! Or something. In other news my day was a bit blah. Went to the doctors about my constant migraine attacks. More meds to take. She said she didn't want to put me on painkillers cause of everything else. So now that's 3 long term drugs to take. She also noticed that my eyes are fubar... i said that rhemy said it was likely due to my condition. I think she felt very sorry for me, asking how my other medications were going I said I was getting a lot of side effects, but trying not to make a big deal out of it. She gave me that *sadpityface* that all my therapists do. Sad Han is saddd. Kinda hits me more when other people give me recognition, I'm not sure why.
gaggle64 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Awk, poor RA. *hugz* =( This help cheer you up?
Ashley Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) If you guys want free haircuts then you could go to the training days at salons like Toni & Guy. Some of them are rubbish but some are really good. But I don't want a free hair cut... Corrected for you. I just randomly remembered that venereal disease text in the middle of my lecture and stifled a laugh by pretending to cough. Glad my venereal diseases amused you. A quick look around and canne find a video but I found this; Tell me it's Lloyd's style like we discussed? If not, there will be hell to pay. Nah its really short. I can see my ears, not really what I wanted. Keep having phantom hair syndrome. I feel bald! Not that you could really tell (but I don't have any other pics at present) this is a rough idea of length/also what I did today; The film studies class (and lecturer), dunno where everyone else was. Wanted to punch my father at some point. Cunt. I really do miss Jodie, realised this today seeing her. Someone move me to London, stat! Edited November 5, 2009 by Ashley
ReZourceman Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Fret not Wesley, I like your manageable bite size text posts. Alot of the time I won't read a big block of unmanaged text because I find it daunting and I'm lazy. Do you often find large things daunting? WHY IS EVERYONE IGNORING GUY FAWKES DAY!!??!?!?!?! So's your face. Haha noo, I did point out to her that, as I was there to comfort her after the pain, I should probably get to see but it didn't work :p Haha oh god don't say it like that, I sound like some sort of victorian monster of a man! :P She'd wanted it done for a while, I think I just tipped her over the edge to going through with it.

Job applying and shit etc... Yawn. Not too bothered about Guy Fawkes. I get bored of fireworks verrrry quickly. They're only fun if you're having a moment with a significant other. Like bonfires though, whooop! Epic nipplewhyn. ----------------------- For fucks sake. I drove to pick up my comics and left 40 minutes early (well...40 minutes to spare) so I could get back to Aylesbury and pick up a parcel. It normally takes 20 minutes. I thought double the time due to rush hour was fair. So I arrived at the Post Office at just before 5:58pm. 2 minutes before they close. I go upto the door and its locked, and theres some dick in there and he goes "We close at 6" I was like...."But...." and I checked my phone "Its not 6, theres still a few minutes" and I was about to explain to him how I just diverted my house and added 20 minutes to my journey to actually come here, and how I'd hugely appreciate him spending 1 minute to hand me my package, neatly bringing him to 5:59pm, but ... He just walked off. I'm sorry but they can FUCK off. Fuck them and their disrupting bull shit strikes. Do something worth the money you already get and then come back. EVERYONE IS UNDERPAID, deal with it. So that pissed me off this evening. So then I got petrol, for winz. Had a genuine bonified idiot on the phone today. Honestly. @ Molly, the longest CCH note I've ever written. 3 CCH notes long. 3. Amongst his retardedness; How much has my plan gone up this year. The current value is £25,000. Last year it was £27,000. So its gone down £2,000. You're not answering my question. ...........? If I go to the branch will they answer my questions? If you ask them the same questions you've asked me then you'll get the same answers I've given you, because I have accurately and correctly answered all your questions. That literally wasn't even the worst of it. He wasn't annoyed really even. He was just stupid as FUCK. He kept insisting I wasn't answering his questions, but I was, he just didn't understand how his plan worked.....even though when I was repeatedly explaining it he was laughing saying "Yes I understand how it works" Wow long post. tl;dr ; Epic nipplewin, epic royal fail (Shorty-joke-winz) epic pissed off, epic comic get, epic retards on the foneblog, epic Friday tomorrow, epic petroleium injection mega winfailblogwinepicfailemotilol. OH! And I wrote a complaint to T-Mobile. About 18 months worth of shit service, and little complaints that have built up. They can literally fuck off. So basically, Royal Mail delivering a T-Mobile phone for the lose.
jayseven Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Yeah, wes, we're all agreed. Nobody reads the big chunks of text. *ahem* ARG! Managed to get a day off work next week so i can go to brighton and back again. Fare down there is £27.50 advance ticket on teh tuesday... but for thursday there are no advanced fares back so it costs £87 to do the return leg. WtF! I may try and get someone to cover teh first part of my friday shift so I can travel then go straight to work... I may have to megabus/coach it home... That's basically all. Besides the fact that I have between 50 and £100 to last the rest of the month, depending on train ticket price... nationalrail.co.uk is such a shit fucking dick cunt bad bad word blah blah. MIND RAMBLE! So single home is £27.50, single return is £35ish but the site is too stupid to find both at once. Megabus runs from victoria (does it? check that... yes it does) so train to vic from portslade will be £12.50, then coach will be £5, which totals £55... £3 cheaper than two cheapest single fare train journeys. Though nationalexpress coach return journey would be £42. But I can get a national express coach to london for like £2, then for £5 get the other coach, then total cost is around £35. I don't want to travel all day tues so it's a good idea that way. Just utterly bonkers and ridiculous and totally going to go wrong. Ok, well fares can't be much worse tomorrow so I'll just have to go to station and sort it there. Fuuuuuck.
Ashley Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Try crosscountrytrains.co.uk as there's no booking fee and try doing two legs, eg Sheffield to London, London to Brighton.
jayseven Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Yeah that's what I'm doing, but coach is still cheapest. I just wanna train down there to get a bit of time to see folks tues night. Right, gonna read mah book for an hour or two, nighty y'all!
Sheikah Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Today I had labs until 5 but went with my girlfriend to an awesome fireworks display, and a meal at a posh Italian restaurant afterwards. It was the best. Got to go now as apparently it's very rude to keep a lady waiting.
Paj! Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 My piece for fashion week at college was awful, when it sould have been good, but I seem to not get on with the concet of design, despite liking it. It looked like I had a mutated red PVC squid on my head. That or specialist sex gear. Went out tonight to meet one of my besties down from uini and meet up with others to watch the fireworks from the top Calton hill. We were really late, so everyone (of our friends) had goen ,but we had such an adventure going through a bit of town that we'd never been to before, could be from colonial times or something. Then came home and played Brawl for hours. Great. While waiting on a bench in the literal centre of town, I saw a really stereotypical pair of thugs haul an old man behind a statue (stereotypical in that they had toothpicks in their mouths and flat caps, like something from Batman/the 40's) and I was silently screaming. I daren't look what they were doing, but I saw shaking. I just kept listening to Batdance. Then suddenly all 3 men..fell out from behind the statue and me and the other girl on my bench bolted so quickly. Also put through a minor mental ringer seeing someone I knew in town randomly. All these tapes in my head are spinning round, keeping my vibe down.
MoogleViper Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 But I don't want a free hair cut... If you guys want free haircuts then you could go to the training days at salons like Toni & Guy. Therefore my post doesn't apply to you.
Ashley Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Therefore my post doesn't apply to you. The way you mangled it into our conversation, in which nobody asked for a free haircut, seemed to have a whiff of "you shouldn't have to pay for haircuts, and here's how" about it Woke up to find several texts from my father asking for my friend's mother's number >_< So creepy I had to shower.
